One can use /// `Yokeable::Output` on this trait to obtain the "lifetime'd" value of the `Cow<'static, T>`, /// e.g. ` as Yokeable<'a>'>::Output` is `Cow<'a, T>`. /// /// A [`Yokeable`] type is essentially one with a covariant lifetime parameter, /// matched to the parameter in the trait definition. The trait allows one to cast /// the covariant lifetime to and from `'static`. /// /// **Most of the time, if you need to implement [`Yokeable`], you should be able to use the safe /// [`#[derive(Yokeable)]`](yoke_derive::Yokeable) custom derive.** /// /// While Rust does not yet have GAT syntax, for the purpose of this documentation /// we shall refer to "`Self` with a lifetime `'a`" with the syntax `Self<'a>`. /// Self<'static> is a stand-in for the HKT Self<'_>: lifetime -> type. /// /// With this terminology, [`Yokeable`] exposes ways to cast between `Self<'static>` and `Self<'a>` generically. /// This is useful for turning covariant lifetimes to _dynamic_ lifetimes, where `'static` is /// used as a way to "erase" the lifetime. /// /// # Safety /// /// This trait is safe to implement on types with a _covariant_ lifetime parameter, i.e. one where /// [`Self::transform()`]'s body can simply be `{ self }`. This will occur when the lifetime /// parameter is used within references, but not in the arguments of function pointers or in mutable /// positions (either in `&mut` or via interior mutability) /// /// This trait must be implemented on the `'static` version of such a type, e.g. one should /// implement `Yokeable<'a>` (for all `'a`) on `Cow<'static, T>`. /// /// There are further constraints on implementation safety on individual methods. /// /// # Trait bounds /// /// [Compiler bug #85636](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85636) makes it tricky to add /// trait bounds on `Yokeable::Output`. For more information and for workarounds, see /// [`crate::trait_hack`]. /// /// # Implementation example /// /// Implementing this trait manually is unsafe.
